But i chipped away for years..then the end came tumbling down on me hard. I lost 700 on a Thursday, 800 on a Tuesday and 1400 the following Monday. Why did this happen ?<br /><br />Well, before the 3 losses, I won 500 a week prior. The next time I went, I was up over 1500 in B. jack. All i could think about was to push it to 2k. The wine was flowing. Before you knew it ..I was in the usual drill..down to my last 100..lost that and walked out to my car. Drove home feeling great self hatred. Now what ? One day at a time.
